Any RPFers making Stopmotion armatures

[DarkHelmet]

After 21 years on the RPF, I still don't know if I'm ever posting in the right forum lol. Please move if necessary.

Anyway, was wondering if there is anyone that can fabricate a ball and socket armature of a 12" T-Rex?

Attached is a picture of my character.

Thank you

Thank you, but I've sent out emails to them and several other stopmo companies with no response.

I'd rather give my money to someone here anyway.

Maybe seven can guide you to the company he used to make his Sally one from NBC.

I used Kinetic Armatures.
Real question is, what is your budget?
to get a custum armature done, you're looking at a 6+ month turnaround and $2k-$5.
The less costly way would be to buy armature kit parts on ebay and assemble your design. or do a simple wire design.
But there are a few machinists here who might be interested in tackling the job.

I'm willing to spend some money. I normally have Tom Brierton make my armatures, but he's retired now.

As a last resort I'll go the wire route.
